Chapter 402: Unromantic

"Sir, I accidentally fell and it hurts so much..." There was mist in Zhang Yanzi's beautiful eyes, but her voice was very charming and seductive.

What normal man wouldn't be confused after hearing this?

Qin Chi's face darkened when he heard this, and he said indifferently: "Qin Yi, hand the man over to Lao Huo and have him send him to the Ministry of Justice prison."

After saying this nonsense, Qin Chi turned around and walked away.

Yes, to Zhang Yanzi, Qin Chi’s words were nonsense. At this moment, she didn’t know that the Zhang family was in big trouble, and she was secretly angry at Qin Chi for being unromantic.

But when he saw Qin Chi's back as he walked away, he became furious and quickly got up to chase after him.

"My lord, don't go, slave—"

There are no outsiders here.

Zhang Yanzi was not at all reserved. As long as she got close to Qin Chi and threw herself into his arms, Qin Chi would marry her even if he didn't want to for the sake of his reputation.

Someone hit me hard on the back of my neck.

Zhang Yanzi was knocked unconscious all of a sudden, and her body fell limply onto the bluestone slabs.

"ah!"

A woman's scream suddenly rang out, "Catch the thief! There's a thief in the house! Someone wants to catch my young lady!"

It was Zhang Yanzi's maid hiding in the dark who discovered Qin Yi knocking Zhang Yanzi unconscious and screamed in shock.

Qin Yi wanted to go up and drag Zhang Yanzi out.

The maid rushed forward to protect her master, but Qin dodged and knocked her out again.

"ah!"

Another startle.

Qin Yi looked at the people who were hurrying over not far away, and they turned out to be Wu Jingyao and Song Jin.

Wu Jingyao saw Zhang Yanzi's maid, who suddenly came in and whispered something in her ear. Zhang Yanzi's face showed surprise, but she quickly covered it up and pretended to go out to urinate.

After Zhang Yanzi left, Wu Jingyao felt more and more that something was wrong.

I immediately thought of Qin Chi.

Wu Jingyao also found a reason to ask Song Jin to accompany her for a walk, but before Song Jin agreed, she heard a scream from the Zhang family's maid.

Then I heard the maid shouting "Catch the thief".

Song Jin was originally impatient to deal with Wu Zhang's two daughters, but she had only greeted them now to avoid being impolite. She had clearly served tea and seen them off twice, but they just pretended not to notice.

I can't just tell them to leave.

This is the frustration of civilized people encountering scoundrels.

The two girls came suddenly.

Song Jin originally wanted to find an excuse to avoid meeting them, but they said they had serious matters to attend to. However, after sitting there for such a long time, they didn't say anything and just kept talking about trivial things.

Now, what happened?

Song Jin was also surprised when he hurried over and saw this scene.

Wu Jingyao stepped back subconsciously, allowing Song Jin to push in front of her, "Sister Song, this thief is too rampant, quickly call the guards in the mansion to come and catch him!"

"He is not a thief." Song Jin turned around and explained.

After saying that, the man walked away.

Qin Yixiang bowed to Song Jin and said, "Madam, that woman sneaked into your study and I don't know if she is a spy. Your Excellency asked me to send her to the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

"Send, send to jail?"

Song Jin was surprised, "Is it really your family... No, is it really my husband's order?"

"To answer your question, ma'am, yes."

Qin Yi saluted without looking up or looking directly at Song Jin's face.

At this point, they weren't the only ones here.

Some guards heard the screams and rushed over, among them was Lao Huo, who was holding a large bowl piled high with food, looking more anxious than the guards who came rushing over.

Old Huo was obviously not doing his job properly. "What's going on?"

"The young master asked you to send him to the Xingbu prison."

Qin Yi answered Lao Huo's words.

When Old Huo saw the two women still lying on the ground, he recognized them as members of the Zhang family. He immediately understood what Qin Chi meant and pointed at the guards, "Move them to the carriage. I'll send them to the prison after I finish my meal."

Four guards came forward and lifted up Zhang Yanzi and her maid.

He moved towards the door without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Wu Jingyao was greatly shocked. Wasn't it just a girl's trick to seduce Qin Qian? Was it necessary to go to jail and specify that it was from the Ministry of Justice? Only serious criminals of the court were eligible to go to jail.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Sister Song, this is not good. Is it necessary to make such a fuss? Miss Zhang is young and ignorant. She was just confused for a while." Wu Jingyao said while standing beside Song Jin.

As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly.

How scared is this? Song Jin glanced at Wu Jingyao and said, "I thought you were very brave, but you are scared like this? Although you two didn't make it clear that you came to the Qin family, please don't treat me like a fool. From now on, Miss Wu, don't come to our house again."

Wu Jingyao's expression changed again after hearing this.

Song Jin turned around gently and said to Qin Qi beside him: "Ah Qi, send Miss Wu out."

Wu Jingyao was so angry that she clenched her five fingers and held the handkerchief tightly. Just now she was intimidated by Qin Qian'an's behavior, but now she was angry at Song Jin's attitude.

What's the point of pretending as a crude peasant woman?

She is the daughter of the Marquis's mansion. He lowered himself to make friends with her. He should be ungrateful. How dare he turn his face away from her? No matter what Wu Jingyao thought in her heart, no matter how twisted her thoughts were, with Qin Qi staring at her, she could only suppress her anger and force a dry smile, "Sister Song has something going on at home, so I can't nag you. We can talk later when we have time."

Who are you saying this to?

Song Jin's back had disappeared at the Moon Gate.

At this time, Song Jin hurried to the study.

The door of the study is open.

When I walked to the threshold, I saw Qin Chi sitting at the desk, seemingly checking something.

The moment she stepped into the study, Qin Chi raised his head and looked at Song Jin, "Madam, are you here for Miss Zhang?"

"I heard that you want to send him to the Ministry of Justice? Will the censor report you if you do this?"

Song Jin knew that if he locked Zhang Yanzi up in the prison just because of her behavior today, it would give Qin Chi a handle to suspect that he was bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

Song Jin came here not to speak for Zhang Yanzi, but to show his concern for him, which made Qin Chi feel much better. "It's okay. The Xing Department should be grateful to me for saving them a lot of trouble."

Then Qin Chi explained the situation of the Zhang family.

Song Jin was suddenly speechless.

I didn't expect there was such a big thing going on.

The Zhang family escaped once. If Minister Zhang did not step forward, Emperor Mingcheng would not think of him for a while. But he stood up and wanted to take over the task of negotiating in Jianning. Qin Chi knew that the Zhang family was the former crown prince's people, so he would not let Minister Zhang go. Otherwise, Minister Zhang and the rebels would work together, which would harm the soldiers who were about to accompany them. So Qin Chi stood up to oppose it.

It was not Qin Chi who stood up to oppose it, but the words of Jixiang, the current governor of the Imperial Household Department, who directly provoked Emperor Mingcheng to deal with the Zhang family.

The person that Emperor Mingcheng hated and feared the most in his life was the former Crown Prince Helian Kai. It can be said that this person was his archenemy.

The Zhang family was actually involved with him? Emperor Mingcheng clearly preferred to kill the wrong person rather than let him go.
